JENSEN BEACH - On Friday, Dec. 14, Din Thomas, 9x UFC veteran and cast member of the The Ultimate Fighter season 4 will lead the charge in a 12 hour grappling marathon (grapple-a-thon) to help the Toys for Tots charity.

"We raised over 600 pounds of food doing a grapple-a-thon for Thanksgiving," said Thomas. "We would be delighted if we could mimic those results for this holiday. There are kids that need it."

In order to participate and grapple, you will need to bring a toy.

Also coming to show his support will be 5x UFC veteran and cast member of the The Ultimate Fighter season 11, Rich Attonito.

This Grapple-a-Thon will begin on Friday, Dec 14 at noon and will proceed until midnight. It takes place at the American Top Team Treasure Coast located at the Treasure Coast Square Mall in Jensen Beach. If you do not want to participate in the grapple or do not have experience, all toys are still welcome.
